180 minutes · serves 6 · Medium
What you need
- 500g black beans
- 300g smoked pork
- 200g chorizo
- 200g beef
- 2 onions
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 oranges
- Rice and greens to serve
What you do
- 1Soak the beans overnight. Salted meats too, if they are very salty — change the water twice.
- 2Simmer the beans with bay for an hour before anything else joins them.
- 3Brown the meats, soften onion and garlic, then everything into the bean pot.
- 4Two more hours on the lowest heat. It is done when the broth is dark and thick without any flour.
- 5Mash a ladle of beans against the side and stir back in to thicken.
- 6Orange slices alongside. They cut through it, and that is not optional.
